Our Divorce and Family Law Practice
We represent men and women throughout the divorce process, from the initial filing through negotiated settlements or trial to post-judgment requests for modification or enforcement. We handle all matters arising out of divorce, including:
- Child custody and visitation. We will help you work out custody and visitation arrangements that are in the best interests of your children. We will also seek to protect your role as a parent, ensuring that you get to participate in decisions about education, medical treatment and religious training.
- Child support. We will review all proposed child support orders for compliance with state guidelines and to ensure that all relevant income is included in the calculation.
- Spousal support or alimony. We will work with you to determine whether spousal support is necessary and, if so, how much should be paid and for how long.
- Distribution of marital assets. We will assist you with the equitable distribution of marital property, including real estate, bank accounts and investments, retirement fund and business interests.
If you are planning to get married and are either bringing substantial assets into the marriage or have children by a previous marriage, we can help you protect those assets in the event of a divorce or separation. We will help you prepare and put in place a prenuptial agreement that specifies the division of property upon divorce or separation.
We also assist clients with legal separation agreements.
